“you’re going to pick the most ‘prestigious’ college that you were accepted to because that’s the one with biggest endowments, the most opportunities for professional-social connections, and 9 times out of 10 better prospects for graduates.”
I graduated from Penn. My business partner graduated from BU. We are equal partners in the small business we started 15 years ago. I guess I’m the 1 in 10?
Yes, just accept your spot on the waitlist and then forget about it. Pay your deposit at your top school that you actually did get into, and don’t keep your hopes up for getting off the waitlist because you don’t want to look forward to it for months and then be let down. Better to have it be a pleasant surprise than a devastating letdown
From a Penn student, just wanted to wish you best of luck!
